ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Your Bemoov bike is delivered to you partially assembled. It is essential that you follow the assembly instructions in this ma-
nual extremely carefully.
A. UNPACKING
5
STEP 1 :
Turn the handlebar counterclockwise and align it with the
front wheel
STEP 2 :
Tighten the two stem clamping bolts clockwise until you feel
sucient resistance for the stem to be properly xed (maxi-
mum tightening torque: 6 Nm*)
*Newton meter
Failure to tighten the various stem bolts correctly can lead to serious accidents. To check that the handlebar is
rmly xed, take hold of the handlebar grips with both hands:
- Securing the front wheel between your legs, take the handlebar grips with both your hands.
- Check by turning left and right that the stem is rmly attached to the fork crown.
No movement should be observed. If there is still movement, tighten the various bolts to reach the maximum
tightening torque of 6 Nm. If in doubt, check the technical information or contact our support team via our
website www.bemoov-bikes.be
ATTENTION !
!
B. ADJUSTING THE HANDLEBARS
6
You should feel some clamping pressure when the QR lever is closed. The degree to which the clamp is
tightened can be modied by adjusting the nut when the lever is open: turn it clockwise to tighten or coun-
terclockwise to release.
Never mount the seat post above its maximum allowable height, indicated by an engraving on the seat
post, since this could break the seat post or the seat tube
ATTENTION !
!
C. ADJUSTING THE SADDLE HEIGHT
STEP 1:
Open the quick release
STEP 2:
Adjust the saddle height so that your child can have his/her
feet on the ground when sitting on the saddle.
STEP 3:
Close the quick release
D. TIRE PRESSURE
It is possible that during transport the tire pressure will go down. If necessary, refer to the BAR/PSI pressure indicated on the
sidewall of the tires to adjust this pressure using a bicycle pump.
7
• Carefully read the safety instructions before rst use.
•Each Bemoov bike is adapted to the weight of the child
of the age corresponding to the model. Please respect
the authorized weight limit:
BEMOOV 12 : maximum 25 kg.
•Your Bemoov balance bike has been designed to be
ridden by young children on gently rolling, smooth
pavement. If your child uses their bike beyond its limits,
there is a real risk of failure that could lead to serious
injury.
•Our balance bike does not comply with the highway
code. It should therefore not be used on public roads
•Make sure your child always wears a suitable helmet
when riding a bike.
• Make sure the helmet is properly tted according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
•Make sure your child wears protective clothing.
•Make sure your child wears sturdy, non-slip shoes. Check
that nothing can get tangled in the pedals or transmission
the wheels . Never ride barefoot
•Make sure your child can get to know the new balance
bike in a safe environment under your control. Never let
your child ride unsupervised. Never let your child ride
near steep slopes, stairs, or bodies of water.
•Make sure your child quickly understands how the
rear brake works. This skill is not always picked up easily
in very young children. That is why a responsible adult
must always be present. Check if it can stop at all times
and safely by using the brake lever or by putting his/her
feet on the ground.
•Avoid allowing your child to ride in wet weather and on
slippery ground. Be aware that braking and tire grip
performance will be signicantly reduced in these
conditions.
•Please ensure that children are aware that balance bikes
have moving parts and that they cannot touch them
when they are in motion. Spokes, tires, and other moving
parts an cause serious injury if contacted during
movement. This risk exists even if the bicycle is not in
motion.
•To avoid risk of choking, make sure your child cannot
loosen and detach the tire valve cap. Otherwise, it should
be removed completely.
• Make sure that the steering angle limiter (designed to
prevent over-steering) is always securely connected to its
mounting.
•Crashes are sometimes unavoidable when riding a `
bicycle. As the bicycle is made up of sharp and hard
metal objects, these crashes can cause injury. After a fall,
rst check if the child is okay. Then check the general
condition of the balance bike and its components before
the child can get back on the balance bike.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES FOR USE
If you are the responsible adult, parent or guardian, we recommend that you read the safety instructions carefully before rst
use.
A. GENERAL
Our balance bike bears the CE mark and therefore complies with the requirements of European standard 71 (toy
safety) and fullls the requirements of the European directive 2009/48/EC on the safety of toys
ATTENTION !
!

If someone borrows your child’s balance bike or if another guardian is supervising your child, make sure they
have read the detailed instructions for using your bike.
ATTENTION !
!
BEFORE EACH USE, make sure that:
•Saddle and handlebars are tight enough.
•Brakes and brake levers work and are properly adjusted.
•The wheels are tightened at the axles, and rotate well.
•The seat height allows your child to easily place his/her feet at on the ground in order to start or stop without diculty.
•The tire pressure is sucient and appropriate (see tire sidewall pressure: PSI/BAR).
•All the bolts and other components are well xed and show no signs of abnormal wear.
•The frame, rims and tires are not damaged.
•The hand grips are not torn at their ends and do not expose the handlebars. If the grips are overly worn or appear
damaged, they may become sharp and injure your child in the event of a fall.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The Bemoove balance bikes have been manufactured with quality components so that they are durable and ecient. Keeping
your bike clean and maintained will extend its life and function while maintaining your child’s safety. This will also allow the
bike to retain the high resale value which most used Bemoov bikes maintain.
To do this, we have listed some tips and checks:
A. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
To clean your bike, we advise you to use hot water, a sponge and a classic degreasing soap. Never use acidic products, or
liquids containing solvents. Check the instructions on these products before using them. Never clean your bike with a high
pressure jet.
Regularly lubricate the moving parts of your bike. Weather conditions are usually the main determinant of maintenance and
lubrication frequency. This maintenance also depends on the frequency, type, and duration of riding.
B. BIKE FRAME
Bemoov frames are made of high quality and very light 6061 aluminum. Frame maintenance is minimal. Cleaning according to
the general instructions will suce. Take the opportunity each time you clean it to inspect the frame completely to detect any
damage.
You will nd under the bottom bracket, a serial number. This clearly identies your bike. Write down this serial number to keep
in your les.

C. THE BRAKES
Bemoov has chosen easily adjustable and ecient V-Brake brakes. Brakes are of course one of the primary elements for safe
use. Maintenance and upkeep are important. Be certain to check and maintain them regularly.
What should regularly be checked on the brakes:
• Depending on the user and his/her prociency level, you will need to adjust the stroke of the brake lever to improve how
well it ts your child’s hands. Tightening bolt 4 (cross wrench) clockwise brings the lever closer to the handlebars for small
hands. In pressure , the brake lever should still never touch the handlebars.
•After extended use, you will notice a slight stretching of the brake cable. It will be more and more “soft» unscrewing bolt 5
anti-clockwise will restore tension to the brakes.
•Regularly check the wear of the brake pads. Never exceed the wear lines. Once the brakes wear beyond the wear lines,
they will have to be replaced.
•Regularly check the angle of the brake lever on the handlebar. The correct angle of 30-35° should allow a straight line
between the rider’s hand and forearm. Adjust this position by tightening bolt 4.
• Check that the pads touch the at face of the rim without touching the tires. Bolt 3 will allow you to readjust this position if
necessary (Allen key 5 mm).
• Check that the cable xing bolt (2) is still tight (Allen key 5 mm).
•Regularly check that when you lift the bike rear wheel,, the front and rear wheel rotate freely. Be certain to prevent your
child from touching any of the moving parts when you make this test. Otherwise, proper readjustment will be required
(see our website www.bemoov-bikes.be for more information.)
11
Check that your wheels are well centered in the frame and in
the fork.
Tighten the bolt clockwise (5 mm Allen key) with a maximum
torque of 12 Nm.
Depending on your child’s type of riding, the wheels may suer damage or deformation (cracks, warping). These issues can
cause braking and handling problems. Deformed, cracked or broken rims must be adjusted (spoke tension adjustment) or re-
placed. If in doubt, please contact our support team via the website www.bemoov-bikes.be or go to a bicycle shop for profes-
sional service.
Check tire pressure and wear regularly. Replace worn tires immediately. Please respect the minimum and maximum pressure
indications on the sidewall of the tire (PSI /BAR).
